“In dealing with something ‘as deeply rooted as racism or bias in any society, you’ve got to have vigilance but you have to recognize that it’s going to take some time and you just have to be steady so that you don’t give up when you don’t get all the way there,’ Obama said.”

It looks like President Barack Hussein Obama is finally ready to have more of an open & honest dialogue about the issue of race and racism in our majority white society. On the day of Obama’s second inauguration, I posted that he would not get through his second term without addressing and helping eradicate this problem. Well now, it’s actually beginning to happen! A few days ago, Obama gave what has been described by the Associated Press as “his most candid interview on race” with BET, which aired last night. I haven’t had the opportunity to watch the interview yet, but timing of this all is not accidental. Things are going to get very interesting from here on out…
